Note: as for the PS2, I can not see the connections in your picture, to see which color wire you have connected to which pin…
Kurt
ok ill send a picture of the wiring, the colors on the wires don’t match up with that of the diagram. ill add a pic when i can
here is the other picture. let me know whats wrong, everything is connected but it wont move the arm and the controllers green light isn’t coming on.
well the controller is talking to the board because I can press the start button and it will beep. The arm just won’t move so I have a feeling it is something with the wiring somewhere, or possibly my ssc board needs to be programmed to something?
do I need RIOS software to complete this?
No you don’t need rios. Table 5 illustrates pressing start is used to enable/disable the arm. Do the servos make any movement at all?
Does the green led on the SSC-32 ever blink?
I can not tell from the pictures if the Black/yellow wire which I believe is going to the SSC-32 is it plugged in to P10 of BB2 and is that Red wire that is coming from the SSC-32, the one that is wrapped in green tape? If so I should be plugged in to P11, which is where the SSC-32 will get input from…
Kurt
looks to me like Yellow/Black on p11 and red left unplugged.
should be as kurt said.
Yellow/Black on p10 and red p11
ok so i have the yellow and black in p10 and the red on p11. the controller is connected but the scc32 board doesn’t flash or anything when I try to move the arm. which I assume is something with the connection between the boards
how have you hooked up the power supply to Both the boards?
does it resemble the image jim posted?
yes I have connected the power supply to both and I have followed the images exactly, but the colors on the ps2 receiver part that goes into the bot board one the image jim shared are not the same colors on my receiver.
Looking at the images again I don’t think the Atom is inserted into the socket all the way. This could be a source for problems.
You told me the green led on the SSC-32 doesn’t blink. Does it come on steady when power is applied?
Have you tried controlling the SSC-32 from a PC using Lynxterm? This would allow you to make sure the SSC-32 and the arm servos are working properly.
yes the arm works perfectly with the lnynterm. the green light is completely solid when power is supplied and the bot board beeps when I press start to turn the functioning on and off.
Show me this part of your program.

Remove the comment “;” character from the beginning of this line.

so it looks like this.

It’s pretty self explanatory what it does. It’s clearly stated in the tutorial. I can’t stress enough you must read and follow the instructions we have provided. This could have been solved a long time ago.
I am sorry I read through multiple tutorials and followed them word for word. Sorry for all the troubles I caused, may I ask which tutorial this may have been in?
In this one. 
I am sorry I didn’t see the semi colon missing in the image because it said nothing about it in the caption to the side and I assumed since it said to change the arm selection that the program would come with everything but the arm selection correct, my fault.
